We have a winner folks!
Sean Strickland wins this fight by decision after easily dominating Jack Hermansson through 5 well-fought rounds. It was a great fight for a man who is slowly improving to become one of the best contenders in the division. There's a good chance he might be moved up to fifth place after next week's event between Adesanya and Whittaker.

End of Round 4.
After Round 4, there is a more leveled fight but slightly in Strickland's favor. We are getting into the nitty gritty of this bout. For the record, Hermansson seems far more drained and hurt than Strickland does. We have a good idea who the winner might be.

Great jab from Strickland.
What an incredible jab from Strickland just seconds before the end of the second round, the bell saved Hermansson right before Strickland went for the kill.
BIG DROP TO END THE ROUND!

Maximov holds on to his strategy.
Before this fight started, it was clear Soriano was going a far better job in terms of power and hits. But Maximov managed to get into grap`pling positions and the Hawaiian fighter simply can't handle this. Second and third round have been Maximov's due to this wrestling aspect. Soriano seems fed up with this, it's almost as if Maximov wasn't from the Diaz Brothers' academy. It seems Soriano hurt his groin in one of Maximov's takedowns on Round 3. That's exactly where he lost the fight. Nick Maximov keeps his undefeated roll.

Maximov is bleeding hard.
A nasty nkee to the head gets Maximov bleeding quite a bit, Soriano seems more in control but he missed a chance to chocke. End of Round 1 and start of Round 2.
Co-Main even alert!
Nick Maximov is set to fight against Punahele Soriano in the co-main event in the Middleweight division. Three rounds as Round 1 begins.

What a showing from Rakhmanov!
After only one minute fighting, Shavkat Rakhmanov proved why he is still undefeated. A reverse kick knocked Harris down and finished him on the floor with two hammers to the face. That was fast!
Youre looking at a future contender at welterweight

After one well-fought round, Brendan Allen managed to connect one punch that made Alvey's legs shake and got position for a grapple. He locked his hands around Alvey's head and that was it. Allen won by submission. Up next is Rakhmanov vs Harris.
